Hardcore Paleo-Day 2
I meant to post every night, but I am getting through the 3-day burn.  You know the 3-day burn, it's where all those muscles you haven't used scream at you for using them.  Anywho, things are going well.
Breakfast:  egg in a nest (leftover).
Lunch:  Ham, pastrami, pepperoni, brussel sprouts, cucumbers.
After workout:  Lg. orange.
Dinner:  Meatballs w/bbq, broccoli, green beans.
Workouts:  5 minute plank routine (completed about 2.5 minutes).
           Day 2 of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred
Let's discuss.  
I am going a bit crazy on processed meats, and will adjust that.  For me it's like a day without pork products is a day without sunshine.  I have been doing well in keeping my veggies going.  I made it through the day without snacking, which is a real accomplishment.  The afternoons are my trouble time.  Mainly boredom drives me into the kitchen, and to be honest, I did wander in and out a couple of times, but didn't snack, YEA for me!!
I like to be alone for my exercise time.  In the mornings, when I do my planks, it's quick and I do it when I get dressed.  And, although I didn't make a good showing on Day 2, I am getting better, but have had to modify to being on my knees for a couple of moves until I get stronger.
I do the Shred in the living room, with the kids (they gave out in the first circuit, and went to play in the dining room).  I have managed to improve, even in just one day.  Nothing beyond getting more Jumping Jacks in, but, hey, it's better than doing nothing, or even worse, giving up entirely!
As I said earlier, I am suffering the 3 day burn.  My thighs and shoulders are SCREAMING.  I even flex my gluts to feel the butt burn.  As much as it hurts, it's also sending a message that my muscles are alive and going to get stronger.  Please note:  This is normal, and doesn't stop me from everyday activities.  
I am hoping that Tuesday, when I weigh and measure, I will see some sort of results.  
I am going to attack Day 3 now!!!
